Fishing Report December 2024

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

The lake has spit out some of the biggest fish we have seen since the restocking of the Pilot Peak Strain was re-introduced in 2006. Lots of fish in the 20 pound class have found a net the last couple months. We are not sure why the fishing is so much better now than the last couple years at the same time but we don’t

Lots of rain and snow for the Truckee!

by MATT KOLES

Lots of rain and snow for the Truckee River. Warm storms, so not any snow down here in Hirschdale, all rain, and the river is free from snow just about everywhere. Flows have come up, but will drop back down in a few days. Winter fishing should be very good. When the waters a bit milky, streamers, worms, and that shit should be your choice. The weathers

The fishing continues to be solid

by THE FLY SHOP

The fishing continues to be solid at the salty pond, with good numbers of fish cruising the shorelines. Pick your favorite beach and be ready for an opportunity at a high-teen to 20lber. There have been significantly more big fish caught this season than last. Indicator nymphing with Balanced Leeches and midges are producing the most consistent right now, but stripping Popcorn Beetles, Midnight Cowboys,

Pyramid continues to fish very well in what most consider to be one of the slower months of the season for the lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid continues to fish very well in what most consider to be one of the slower months of the season for the lake. The series of stormy days last week have kept the bite good most days and along most beaches. Looking forward, the clear and cold days ahead may prove to slow things down in the short term. We happened to go out on one

Truckee River Fihing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

This storm has done very little to change the conditions on the river, both here on the California side as well as the Nevada side. The flows came up just a tad along most of the Truckee, but we have already seen this begin to taper off. As predicted in last week’s report the water temps came up a few degrees, but likely will drop again

The whole river is fishing fair to good

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Water Conditions On the Truckee River, water is coming out of Lake Tahoe at 75 cubic feet per second and rolling through the town of truckee at 150 cubic feet per second. Glenshire flows are currently really good at 234 CFS. Near the stateline, flows are coming in at 459 cubic feet per second. Tips for the Week The whole river is fishing fair to good. Anglers are

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Angler Report for Topaz Lake, Monday the 23rd: Caught 12 trout while trolling Rapalas. Fish weighed up to 3+ pounds.

The fall of 2024 has been the best we’ve ever seen

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

After another epic week out here, we are going to call it.. The fall of 2024 has been the best we’ve ever seen. If there’s anyone who is reading this that has yet to experience this lake or just hasn’t made it out yet this year, all we can say is; you’re missing out. While in some ways fishing out here is pretty straight forward, it’s

The Truckee River fished great this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River fished great this week during the sunny days and warmer air temps. For nymph fishing, the name of the game has been going small on your dropper fly, down to a size 18-20 in most cases. With the storm rolling in, expect the fish to switch gears on their preferences, especially when the water begins to gain some color. Stoneflies, worms, eggs and

Topaz Lake: Angler Report

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Sam checked in with a new report from Topaz Lake. He was fishing on Friday the 13th and got out in the morning before the wind picked up. It was a nice day, with 7 fish landed, the largest weighing 3.4 pounds. He trolled Rapalas in hot steel and black/ gold colors, which were producing well. Eagles were also spotted in the area.

Finally getting some snow in Tahoe

by MATT KOLES

Finally getting some snow in Tahoe It's stacked up for mid-December. Not much down here in Hirschdale, but we usually don't get too much anyways. Flows are still great on the Truckee River, and the Winter fly fishing is good. Good all up and down the river. If you fish the Ca side, remember, lows will be very cold at night. You should wait till it warms

The fish have been taking a wide variety of flies and presentations

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The lake has yet to really slow down and this week we are seeing days on par with the most epic November we’ve seen. This fishery will certainly be one to benefit from a storm pushing through, and the low pressure system will likely get these fish on the chew. The one factor to keep an eye on will be the full moon this weekend. During

The Truckee has fished very well this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has fished very well this week, with quite a few days where we lost count of the fish caught and landed multiple fish in the 20” range. The key to the river this time of year is fishing during the warmer days of the week as well as the warmest points of the day. Focus on slower moving water where seams and bubble lines

The lake level has been going up a foot or so each week due to the runoff from the Walker River

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level has been going up a foot oor so each week due to the runoff from the Walker River. But compared to last year at this time, the level is down about 8 to 10 feet. Fishing has been doing well for trollers using flashers and a crawler or a small spoon. I talked with a couple anglers that caught some nice rainbows

Pyramid is still fishing solid, with decent numbers of fish already cruising the shorelines

by THE FLY SHOP

Pyramid is still fishing solid, with decent numbers of fish already cruising the shorelines. Indicator nymphing with Balanced Leeches and midges has been especially successful, as has stripping Popcorn Beetles, Midnight Cowboys, or Pyramid Minnows. Numerous large fish have already been landed this year, and the fishing has been noticeably more consistent than at this time last season! Now’s the perfect time to head out

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While the bite may have slowed a little bit this week with cold sunny days following a significant drop in lake temps, we have personally seen multiple 20 pound fish caught in the last week by fellow Pyramid junkies. When the lake gets glassy and the sun is high, the use of sinking lines and smaller flies such as boobies or beetles can be a great

The Truckee River has been benefiting from these warmer days this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River has been benefiting from these warmer days this week and the fishing has improved considerably compared to last week, when temps were getting just above freezing most days. The one thing these sunny days haven’t helped with is the streamer bite though, which tends to be a bit tougher during days of high sun. But it’s still worth putting some time into

Breaking a cold snap on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Still very cold at night, but warming up some in the afternoons. Will probably stay like this until we get some weather again, maybe mid-month. Good news, flows are really great for December. Typically the river is pretty low around now. 430 cfs, and over 500 out East is really good for us. What's that mean for fishing? Well, nymphing you'll always get some. Streamer fishing

So far this season has been nothing short of fantastic

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

I know you’ve heard us say it over the last few weeks, but so far this season has been nothing short of fantastic. We are hearing “The best November ever” thrown around a bit and we have a hard time disagreeing. Most of the employees in the shop have been getting out on a weekly basis and have been consistently landing fish over 15 pounds

The Truckee River continues to fish well

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River continues to fish well as most of the brown trout finish their spawn and look to recover lost calories. During the overcast days of last week, we saw a fair streamer bite for those willing to put in time. As well as some good dry fly-fishing east of Sparks. With the subfreezing temps in the mornings, the fishing will be best after

November Has Been Legendary

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

LAKE CONDITIONS November has certainly been a hallmark of fall. Cold mornings, reasonably mild days, and the chilly storm patterns of course. Wind patterns have definitely ticked up a bit, so we are experiencing some of that classic Pyramid behavior that we all have come to love. Best part is, that the fish have been very cooperative, and healthy sizes to boot. So, with that being

The shore bite is picking up with the open storm door

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

At Pyramid Lake, the shore bite is picking up with the open storm door. Anglers are catching some big fish this year. The water levels at Pyramid Lake are currently at 95% capacity.

The water flows are good, and there are some hatches of blue-winged olives and midges

by MOUNTAIN LAKES RESORT

Water Conditions The Truckee River has slightly discolored water due to recent rain. Overall, the water flows are good, and there are some hatches of blue-winged olives and midges. The weather has been consistently cold and snowy over the past week. While mornings will continue to be cold, the afternoons are expected to warm up a bit in the upcoming week. 75 CFS is out of
